Compare

Dr. Zhao is also a published writer; over the last ten years, under the penname Kongyin, two of her spiritual juvenile fictions (Gooby and the Dream-walker and Sun Grass) were published in South Africa. Much of her poetry on healing, in a variety of languages, was published in China and Canada. She had her own poetry column in two Chinese newspapers: Vancouver Weekly and Toronto Weekly.

Patience

I repeat it again:
dear friend
don’t despair
no matter what.

Even if you are a late-autumn date-tree,
deprived of  your wealth,
your last leaf
wrested by merciless gusts,
your pure naive face,
disfigured by life’s knife.

Even if you have lost everything
you still have
much love, much hope.
They are not idle in the hidden world,
but have married, given birth to star-like sprouts.

Do nothing but give them time, 
patience, so their offspring
may solemnly step into the visible world

I turned into a poet.
